1020 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451

1020 Grand Concourse, located in Concourse Village, is a 19-story, 453-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Camille Quamina. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns occurring between 2021 and 2024. These include recurring water leak problems, a heavy flow leak reported in July 2024, and multiple complaints about paint/plaster conditions that HPD was unable to inspect. The building faced electrical system challenges in 2021, including multiple complaints about power outages and wiring issues, though no violations were ultimately issued.

In 2024, there were also concerns about asbestos, with multiple complaints filed between June and August that required health department attention. The building has maintained relatively consistent rodent inspection results, passing all inspections from 2019 to 2025. Recent service requests include a smoking/vaping violation in late 2024 and an emergency mold situation in mid-2024, which received attention from HPD. The property has been subject to several Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, with mixed results regarding access and violations. Of particular note is the current open violation regarding inadequate bedbug reporting from 2021, which remains active as of this report date.

The building has shown some improvement in bedbug management, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) showing zero infested units, though there was one infested unit reported for the period 2021-2022. The property has also undergone various repair and maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2024, including electrical, plumbing, and facade-related work. The building's history includes several environmental control board violations, particularly during 2021 related to construction safety and tenant protection, though these were resolved. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, it has consistently passed rodent inspections and shown some progress in bedbug management, with recent inspections indicating improved pest control standards. The building has undergone regular safety inspections and appears to be actively addressing current violations, as evidenced by recent permit issuances and compliance efforts under Local Law 188/17.
